I wasn't using flyspell. I fixed the problem by eliminating things
from .emacs until it went away; specifically, I discovered these
mysterious lines:
(custom-set-variables
...
; '(pc-select-meta-moves-sexps t)
; '(pc-select-selection-keys-only t)
; '(pc-selection-mode t nil (pc-select)) ; this was screwing up the
region-highlighting
...
)
Commenting out those three lines solved my problem. (I don't know why
they were there in the first place.)
HTH!
